are all 4g64s created equal?
hey y'all
i just got an 01 galant with the 4g64 and i've been trying to do some research while asking a minimum of oft-repeated questions, so if i do and you can point me in the direction of the right thread, i'll tuck my tail behind my legs and lurk around in the shadows.
that said, i've got a couple questions...
are all of the 4g64 engines essentially the same? i've been trying to learn about my different options for turbo kits, proceedures, etc. and i see a lot of info for 2g eclipses and some others, but I have yet to find any sort of definitive guide for plugging a turbo into a G. is this because the proceedure is the same for all of them, or am i seeking a tome that doesn't exist? one of the sites i have found is http://www.4g64.150m.com/, is this valid info or is there something better?
and on that note...
are there kits available for the G that work well, or is it a piecemeal endeavour? are there recommended parts lists? can anyone give me an approximate cost (or a range) to go FI on my car? i'm not looking to turn my car into a racecar, but i would like to have some more oomph when i step on the gas, and the juvenile part of me wouldn't mind being able to smoke the occasional high schooler in daddy's grand am. :twisted:
by my own admission i'm not a car person, i change my own oil and check fluids, but much beyond that and i've got a couple of mechanic friends who are on speed-dial and willing to help, i'm just trying to get my head around this all and do some legwork. any help/insight is mcuh appreciated.
